We need better creative midfielders who can pass first time and go past players with a turn or touch (think hazard, de bruyne and sanchez or mahrez at leicester). We have slower mids who can put good balls in but they wont beat a couple of players very often

The frustration for me - is that we have spent the last 2 seasons playing as a cohesive unit, with players able to drop out or come in and fit into the team plan and workrate ethic.
Tonights game highlights the major departure from that model, in that the tactical restructure of the defence has crippled the whole set up - that coupled with the horrible downturn in players form, has left us looking at a team that barely resembles anything we have seen since Pochettino took over.
He hasn't suddenly become a bad manager, but what the hell is going wrong with the form of the players?
The whole squad looks tired and listless.
Sad night to be a Spurs supporter, witnessing a team that have been such a source of pride, playing like a pale imitation of the side that gave us so much hope for the future.

Back to the bin, Roma CUNT
I'm getting fucking sick and tired of our tiki taka shit in the final third.
Thoroughly and utterly disgusted with this CL campaign. Both the players and Poch need to take a long hard look at how they've approached this. It makes a complete mockery of all the effort last season (albeit that perhaps the way we dropped off after the Chelsea game gave an indication of the character of the squad).
5 of our last 7 goals have been pens
We've had 10 pens in last 11 games
Would have been nice to see Nikodu come on tbh
Haven't made any plans yet but will let you know once I know? May be going straight from work but not sure as yet.
Spurs and europa league is a better love story than breaking dawn.
Yeah, I'll give you Wanyama he's been a good signing but we haven't added any real quality, we haven't improved our squad. We've chosen to spend 40m on two unproven players in Sissoko and N'koudou when we could've put that money towards players like Mane. It's absolutely crazy what happened this summer
As soon as I saw Vertonghen wasn't playing that was it for me. More of a loss than Kane, Alli and Dembele being out.
We've had 6 penalties all season.
Well that was garbage. All over the place at the back, more poor finishing, son and alli were bullied out of it in the first half, dembele off the pace.
We don't finish our chances but equally we don't create enough either, we were found out in the champs league.
Poch has to find the answers

We have had a bad campaign and a bad night but fuck All these moaners Pochettino has earned the right to make mistakes. He has created some of my favourite recent Spurs memories. He will learn from this.
